CE 3710 - Soil Engineering Laboratory
Classification of soils and determination of their properties through tests; grain size analysis, Atterberg limits, relative density, Proctor testing, permeability, direct shear, consolidation, unconfined compression, and CBR test.
Requisites: CE 3700 or concurrent
Credit Hours: 1
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Students wiil be able to perform CBR test and determine CBR value for a given soil sample.
- Students will be able to explain how 1-D consolidation test is set up and performed and how its test data analysis is conducted.
- Students will be able to explain the test methods used in the lab to measure soil shear strength.
- Students will be able to measure the density of soils in the field using the in-situ test methods.
- Students will be able to perform grain size tests in the lab to obtain grain size distribution characteristics for a given soil sample.
- Students will be able to perform lab tests to determine hydraulic properties of granular soil samples.
- Students will be able to perform lab tests to determine the unit weight vs. moisture content relationship for a given fine-grained soil sample.
- Students will be able to prepare technical reports related to laboratory soil testing.
- Students will be able to measure moisture contents critical to engineering behavior of fine-grained soils.
